I have a pretty flexible schedule and love starting my day with walks or spending time outdoors, so pet care fits in perfectly. I’m naturally active and love being around animals, so whether it’s drop-ins, playtime, or walks, it doesn’t feel like “work”—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for whether we’re at my place or yours. I always follow your routines and preferences exactly.

Information Natalie Z. would like to know about your pet

It’s super helpful to know if your pet has any allergies, medications, triggers (like loud noises or other dogs), or specific routines they’re used to. I want to make them feel as safe and happy as possible

A typical day

Lots of belly rubs, neighborhood walks, playtime with toys (or just chasing each other around the house), and maybe even a little doggy photoshoot if they’re up for it. I love giving pets a mix of fun and comfort, so they feel happy and safe while you’re away.

Reliable Pet Lover You Can Count On

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Nikki! (Middle name is Nicole so I’ve always gone by Nikki :) lol) I’m a really routine oriented person, and I think that’s a big reason dogs tend to gravitate toward me. I do a lot of the same things every day, and I’ve noticed dogs feel really comfortable with that kind of consistency. They know what to expect, and I like being someone they can feel safe and settled around. I’m also very active. I love going on long walks, running, and lifting at the gym, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels whether they’re super energetic and need to get their zoomies out, or they’re more laid back and just want company. I’m patient, observant, and I genuinely care about making pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’ll always respect your dog’s routine, pay attention to their personality, and make sure they feel cared for like they’re my own.

Natalie was quick to answer and did so on a short notice. She walked my pup the entire hour and sent pics. Would book her again!
